Being a total novice rider and with some bad horse experiences in younger years, the team did a great job of building my confidence riding and learning how to ride. 

Impromptu booking before a trip abroad for a horse trekking experience. 5 stars

My daughter really enjoys pony riding and the staff are really nice and good with her.  

My 3 year old had a lovely pony ride with Sophie. She’s already asked to come again. Thanks! 

Nice place with friendly staff. Great experience 

My daughter has been having lessons for a few months now (once a month) she really enjoys lessons with Naomi and is making good progress! 


The staff were very friendly. My kids really enjoyed the the ride. 

Amazing experience ! We booked the unicorn experience for our daughter 5th birthday and she loved it! Our lovely instructor Jess really made sure the whole experience was great from start to finish. She was so patient, making sure our daughter was understanding everything we were doing with the poney and enjoying every bit. The 1 to 1 riding lesson was the highlight for me - I got to see my daughter smiling, sitting proudly on her poney and just giggling with pure joy. I recommend!!

Loved it! Smiled the whole time! 
Booked already for another go at the weekend! Thanks :)

I had such a great first lesson! Everyone was super welcoming, and Lewis, my instructor, was amazing—so patient and kind. He made learning fun and really helped boost my confidence. I can't wait to go back for more lessons! Highly recommend this place!

My daughter had the best time at her first lesson, she can’t wait to be back. 
Great staff, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to next time.
Thanks so much.

I highly recommend the Old Town Riding School! My 3-year-old niece had her first riding experience there, and it was absolutely magical. Louie was fantastic with her—patient, kind, and encouraging, which made her feel safe and excited. She can't stop talking about her time with him!

To top it off, we decided to give her riding lessons with Louie as her Christmas present. If you're looking for a welcoming and nurturing environment for young riders, this is the place to be. We can't wait to retu

Great first lesson with Emma on Bullseye for my 10 year old daughter. Emma was patient, knowledgeable and fun.  My daughter loved it. Very friendly and a nice atmosphere amongst staff and riders. 

My Daughter Hazel has been riding for around 18 months. Staff are always friendly and have a laugh. Hazel's progress has really come on and her confidence has grown. 

Really enjoyed my lesson this morning with Ruby and Lewis, thank you so much!

Both children had a fantastic pony ride experience. Many thanks for a friendly experience.

My. 4 year old  granddaughter Aurora has been attending Old Town Riding School for over a year now and she absolutely loves it. Jess and Lewis are great with her. They are really child-friendly. They really encourage her to  challenge herself  and try new things. 

My daughter had a lesson with Naomi she absolutely loved it she was abit nervous but Naomi was brilliant with her will definitely be booking again she can’t wait *****

Always such a lovely, relaxed and friendly welcome by the staff. The horses are gorgeous and very calm. 

Booked for a pony ride and it was such a nice little experience for my 3yr old, definitely recommend! 

My Daughter (3,5 yrs) loves the experience. She constantly asks to go. She loves it there, and the tutors are super helpful and knowledgeable. They are accommodating and so patient and engaging with my daughter. 

A great experience for my son and for me,great staff

My 3 year old daughter’s first ever lesson and she absolutely loved it. Jess was fantastic and was so engaging. Will definitely book more lessons in the future. Thank you.

My Grandaughter thoroughly enjoyed her riding lesson. Jessica was lovely and an excellent instructor.
We hope to book regular lessons&would definitely recommend the Riding School as well organised and safe wuth very friendly staff. 
Many thanks


My daughter had a lovely time at the unicorn experience. Highly recommend!

My four year old granddaughter has been expressing an interest in learning to ride, so we decided to book a short introductory pony ride for her. We could not simply ignore her younger brother, so be booked him in too. The staff were all very helpful and easy to relate to. They took great care of both children who had a fantastic time on Lulu. They had half a dozen laps of the school paddock each and came away very excited. I'm sure that we will be returning soon for more formal lessons.

Caring, friendly, welcoming, trustworthy, dependable

I had a great lesson, Lewis was really structured in his feedback so I could work on my technique it was really helpful.

Very happy Tamika loves every lesson Lewis is so patient and understands Tamika if she is having a good day or bad day he adapts to her needs and not frightened to push her on her best days can’t wait for her to gain bit more confidence to do more in lessons ie trot
